The contingent vote is an electoral system used to elect a single representative in which a candidate requires a majority of votes to win. It is a variation of instant-runoff voting (IRV). Under the contingent vote, the voter ranks the candidates in order of preference, and the first preference votes are counted. If no candidate has a majority (more than half the votes cast), then all but the two leading candidates are eliminated and the votes received by the eliminated candidates are distributed among the two remaining candidates according to voters' preferences. This ensures that one candidate achieves a majority and is declared elected.
The contingent vote differs from IRV which allows for many rounds of counting, eliminating only one weakest candidate each round. IRV allows a small chance the candidate outside the top two can still win.
The contingent vote can also be considered a compressed form of the two-round system (runoff system), in which both 'rounds' occur without the need for voters to go to the polls twice.
Today, a special variant of the contingent vote is used to elect the President of Sri Lanka. Another variant, called the supplementary vote, is used to pick directly elected mayors and police and crime commissioners in England. In the past the ordinary form of the contingent vote was used to elect the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1892 to 1942. To date, this has been the longest continuous use of the system anywhere in the world. It was also used in the US state of Alabama from 1915 to 1931.
In an election held using the contingent vote the voters rank the list of candidates in order of preference. Under the most common ballot layout, they place a '1' beside their most preferred candidate, a '2' beside their second most preferred, and so on. In this respect the contingent vote is the same as instant-runoff voting.
There are then a maximum of two rounds of counting. In the first round only first preferences are counted. Candidates receiving an absolute majority of first preferences (i.

vignette|upright=1.5|Fonctionnement d'un vote à second tour instantané Le vote à second tour instantané, aussi appelé vote alternatif, est un système électoral par classement utilisé pour choisir un gagnant. Il est notamment utilisé en Australie, à Nauru, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et jusqu'en 2014 aux Fidji pour l'élection des membres du parlement, ainsi qu'en Irlande, en Inde et au Sri-Lanka pour l'élection du président. Ce système est notamment utilisé lors de référendums pour départager plusieurs options, par exemple en 2015 en Nouvelle Zélande ou encore en 2018 à Guernesey.
